Last week, I posted about Big Mello and mentioned how influential he was for other Screwed Up Click rappers. Well in the same breath, I've got to also mention Pharoah of Street Military. For Z-Ro in particular, Pharoah set the standard for fast rap, albeit gravelly and highly erratic, within Southside Houston ranks. And while Pharoah did put out an indicative album, '97's 6 Foot Giant, before being incarcerated indefinitely for a kidnapping incident, it's his freestyles from Screw tapes and beyond that really illustrate his balls-to-the-wall uniqueness...
